Prototype mk1 panel: common questions

What microcontroller does the Prototype mk1 panel use?

The Prototype mk1 panel is built around the nice_nano, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the Prototype mk1 panel PCB?

The Prototype mk1 panel measures 320 × 126 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Prototype mk1 panel?

126 components, from 10 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Prototype mk1 panel design files?

From the H0N3YC4T/prototype-mk1 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Prototype mk1 panel design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with H0N3YC4T. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Prototype mk1 panel without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Nordic nRF firmware against it before you order a PCB.
